Haven't posted in awhile. I have the ES8000 with the original EVO Kit installed in 2013. And I cannot connect to my wireless router. All my devices connect (BDP, Apple TV). When I try via Network, it says "wired" (no wire) and when I say "wireless" I get nothing, but there's pic on the screen telling me to connect the ethernet cord to the adapter that fits into the EVO Kit, there's only one input to that. I bought a Samsung thingy that goes into a USB port that the telephone rep said I needed, but that does nothing I sent it back. So my question is do I need a wired internet connection for the Evo Kit? If so should I just remove it because I got a connection before I installed it in 2013. I've just been using the peripherals until now and want to use Amazon Prime Video for some content but it's not on Apple TV and my BD player has it buy it's not listed on Amazon to register (it's a 2012).

Thanks in advance.

My wifi module crapped out and I had to replace it: WIDT20R, BN59-01148C is what I used to replace wifi. I had to take the set apart. See the post a few above about accessing the wifi module. Lots of bad wifi modules.

Hello, I wanted to post up a question, I finally decided to look up fixing the wifi connection on my Samsung UN55es8000FXZ. Unfortunately This is not the first sight I went to. Never the less I end up here, were after reading a ton of posts it appear like there are some very knowledgeable people. In short, not really knowing how to navigate in the Service Mode, besides fixing the region code I must have inadvertently selected something else. I changed the region to 'A' and that is fine then the TV downloaded the upgrade to 1059 but my screen has a horrendous pink hue and no changing of the colors helps. I know that I must have changed something in the service mode. Does anyone have a list of what the settings should be. I appreciate any help I can get. I feel like such a fool and am very angry with myself for this snafu.

I'm not sure this would work on the E-Series TV. The Korean version seems to only support the F and H-Series. There are Samsung listing service on other electronic wholesale suppliers websites that list the SEK-3000, as supporting the E, but I don't know if I want to spend $200 US, to find out. If any brave souls do wish to roll the dice, please let us all know the outcome.

I'm also waiting to hear about the experience of others. I do think it's great that Samsung is still making upgrades available.

Are you seeing that when viewing from an external source? It sounds like a handshake EDID issue, or at least something akin to that, coming from a color space disagreement.

Every once in a while, quite inexplicably, things actually go according to plan.

Anyone here know the steps to program a Harmony One remote to control the audio of Samsung TV apps through my new Marantz. Had an installer do the connections. Something changed. I can not get the app audio (Plex movies & Amazon Prime movies) to come through and the TV audio to drop out. The HDMI cable is connecting both arc HDMIs so it should work. Why would the unwanted TV audio not drop out when you switch to the app or the apps audio to drop out when you switch back to TV?
I thought arc is automatic but my installer mentioned he usually disables arc. How do you do that? I would like to enable it. Video seems to work well and I had no problems on the Onkyo.
Thanks

Your installer is correct. Just run an optical cable. The arc was giving me hell with my harmony one and Yamaha and Yamaha receiver. Arc is not worth the trouble.

Yes, there can be problems. It took the third set before I finally found a Samsung keeper. If you look through the other TV threads, you'll notice returns and problems, as well. The panel "lotto" has been discussed at length concerning LCD/LED TV's. I'm not sure if this has been cured - - even with the 4K sets and "FALD" features.

That being said, it's newer technology. I expect problems. That's why I'm such a firm believer in an extended warranty. (I went through SquareTrade via Costco.)

Sorry to hear about your TV. I hope you get an adequate replacement or full refund.

We had similar experiences with ES8005. Panel was changed, but vertical line reappeared. We fixed it by moving TV to slight uphill. The TV stand was not absolutely horizontal and therefor the TV tilted to the side where line came. During years panel perhaps moved towards frames and resulted a vertical line when touching it. Checked with level that TV is horizontal and put a piece of blanket under the leg. No problems for 2 years!
